Status of inflation with the most recent observational data and future perspectives
Present knowledge about physical properties of an inflationary stage in the early Universe (curvature, its rate of change, inflaton mass, etc.) which follows from the most recent observational data including the Planck 2014 ones is reviewed and possibilities to find out anything new about it are discussed. In particular, features in the CMB temperature anisotropy power spectrum in the multipole range l=20-40 are of interest in this respect and may point to some new physics during inflation.
